John Heiter Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 These things are next to meaningless and the recipient is under no legal obligation to obey them. At best, they are an attempt to mitigate the company's own potential damages by showing that the company who just inadvertently sent you someone else's confidential information did not mean to do it. http://www.rediff.com/search/2001/sep/25mail.htm John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I think anyone who doesn't work for a company that demands something like this be present and still includes it on all their email is a real TARD PERIOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consequences of using such information without knowing it is restricted are very different from the consequences of using it after being warned. Lee My broker mandated using a disclosure at the bottom of a Signature.She isn't an Attorney however Mike! FM Your broker almost certainly is covering her rear. Inproper use of information, whether it's information belonging to someone else or intended only for specific individuals is a very serious issue for brokers. Just ask Martha Stewart.
